Remember talk show host Jenny Jones, she of the maternity tests, makeovers, and that pesky murder controversy? Yeah, you remember. The lady was super-nineties, all about inviting on hip hop stars and loud-mouthed trannies for show 'n tell. The Jenny Jones Show was, indeed, the best free circus in town.

When the show went off the air in 2003, Jenny wasn't about to flee the spotlight altogether. That's probably why Jenny Jones has a website (seemingly decorated by Lisa Frank) detailing the life of the former office manager, comedienne, drummer, professional game show assistant, and back-up singer to Wayne Newton (not joking).

And on this website, Jones provides tutorials in lifestyle tips that will inadvertently assist crazy people looking to toast bread with a wire hanger or crack an egg on their head without getting yolk on their face (still not joking).

Not that the how-to videos are the best part of the web site (I mean, really, like you're going to refuse to take the Jenny Jones quiz?), but theyyyy basically are. Because, duh, Jenny Jones teaching you how to make "orgasmic pancakes" is just the tip of the iceberg, and this is one damn weird iceberg.
